Malcolm Wager, global head of all non-equity trading at ABN AMRO in London, has left the firm, according to market officials. A memo sent out by Piero Overmars, global head of global financial markets, said Wager's departure has allowed the firm to restructure its department. Wager could not be reached for comment. It could not be determined why he left the firm.
Graham Bird, managing director and global head of derivatives, has become global head of interest-rate trading responsible for derivatives, government bonds, money market products and repos. Niall Cameron, global head of debt syndication and credit trading, is now global head of investment-grade and sub investment-grade credit trading and John Nelson, has become managing director and global head of foreign exchange responsible for spot and options and been appointed to the management committee. All three report to Overmars. Bird declined comment and press officers did not return calls before press time.
